Besides modern touches like
her sleek easy-clean dining
set and up-to-date lighting,
Denise is also a fan of incorporating
newer artwork into the home. While
she sometimes finds works on
Etsy, Denise is an avid supporter of
local art and a past member of the
Shaker Arts Council.
She shows me one of her
favorites, a striking, colorful canvas
she picked up from 22-year-old
artist Ryan Roth at last year’s
Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland. She
was captivated immediately. “I
saw it, and I about had a heart
attack,” she says. Since then, she
has introduced the young artist
to a number of her interior design
clients. The Dixon’s dining room is
also home to a vibrantly original
and unframed painting (inset above)
on corrugated cardboard that she
purchased from resident Julius
Hanna at a Moreland Rising event.
